IVF 1314 INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION FORM (V1& V5)
Your 2013 -2014 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called Verification. The law says before
awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you reported on your FAFSA. To verify that you provided correct information
the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information on this worksheet and with any other required documents. If
there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You must complete and sign this worksheet, attach any required documents,
and submit the form and other required documents to the financial aid administrator at your school. Your school may ask for additional information. If you
have questions about verification, contact your financial aid administrator as soon as possible so your financial aid will not be delayed.

Did you file / will file a 2012 tax return? See drop down menu for options.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you (or your spouse, if married) filed, or will file, an amended 2012 IRS tax return, you must contact your financial aid
administrator before completing this section.
The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool that is part of FAFSA online. If you have not already used the tool, go to FAFSA.
gov, log in to your FAFSA record, select “Make FAFSA Corrections,” and navigate to the Financial Information section of the form. From there, follow the
instructions to determine if you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to transfer 2012 IRS income tax information into your FAFSA. It takes up to
two weeks for IRS income information to be available for the IRS Data Retrieval Tool for electronic IRS tax return filers, and up to eight weeks for paper
IRS tax return filers. If you need more information about when, or how to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool see your financial aid administrator.
